I once read somewhere that the most intelligent people are the ones that procrastinate the most. Why not procrastinate? If you wait longer to study you will be older, and therefore wiser. =P As a chief procrastinator here is a list of my favorite ways to pass the time and effectively do nothing. *Unfortunately my computer has given up the ghost, which is making studying that much more difficult (I actually have to go out of my room to get internet). Which means that when I finally do get internet I spent a lot more time catching up on facebook and emails, than actually doing my work… eeek!

1. Go on Facebook

2. Check email

3. Check mailbox

4. Get food

5. Get more food

6. Decorate your room with paper snowflakes

7. Decide to go running

8. Get all ready to go running and then decide that you really need to study

9. Then get all your stuff together to go to the library

10. Decide to go for a run again

11. …Never end up at the library

12. Go buy groceries, snacks e.t.c. anything you might need to study properly

13. Invite all your friends over to bake cookies, collectively procrastinating is the best.

14. Watch a couple of Disney movies

15. Decide to sell your textbooks, spend some time figuring that out

16. Draw out a studying schedule

Once you have finally completed all of the things on this list, it is probably the day of your exam. You are probably wondering how on earth you managed to waste all the time you had set out of studying and are now are freaking out, trying to figure out if there is any way you can stop time, turn into someone else for the day, stop the exam from happening e.t.c. Don’t worry, in a couple of hours the exam will be over and guess what? After that you get to complete the procrastination cycle again!!!
